As I sit here on the rooftop of a beautiful villa looking out at the Atlas mountains near Marrakech, I reflect back on all those years and feel truly blessed, grateful and thankful to so many people that have supported me over these years.

To my family, especially Jim and our girls, to all my amazing clients, to my networking colleagues and all my TC team, especially Jess ( big shout out) but also my TC colleagues Blanche, Vicki and Steve for covering me whilst I’m on holiday and your support and most of all your friendships, to Emma and Steph who are now part of my corporate team and together I look forward to working with you all in future years. Thank you to you all! 

Personally, this year there has been some things that I’ve longed to be part of, working with a couple of charities and taking up two volunteering roles, with bath Street Kitchen to help feed the homeless in Bath and the other for water survival box sending water filters and essential items in a box all over the world to disaster zones created by natural causes such as earthquakes, tsunami and hurricanes, both charities I will continue to work with in 2026 and beyond as I feel it’s an important part of life now to give back and help others now I an in a position to have a little more time now the girls have grown up and gone on their own adventures that I can help support other families and people. It’s a small contribution but one I’ve enjoyed and felt fulfilled and a sense of purpose and I’ve also made some really nice friends!

I’ve also joined the Somer Valley Rotary Club where I will increase my volunteering and charity efforts and they have all welcomed me with open arms. I look forward to working with them closely in the foreseeable future..

I’ve also been lucky enough to travel abroad eight times, starting with Dublin, Krakow, Amsterdam (twice )Tunisia Cyprus, Brazil and Morocco. These places have filled me with incredible memories and love

2026 starts off on a high with my final few days in Marrakech before the January rush and then I start travelling again in March to Gran Canaria and then a trip to Athens to look forward to in April, I’m sure there’ll be more trips to come after that too!

For the family- 2025 also blessed us with Jim and I, celebrating our 25 years anniversary renewing of our vows which was a truly special day we spent with friends and family. My husband Jim achieved the most incredible journey of his life trekking up to Everest based camp and raised an astonishing amount of money (around 7K ) for cancer research.

Our girls MJ now 21 is starting her travels next week to Australia and taking out 6 months to go travelling and Ruby now 19 who did her travelling in 2025 through Asia.

She also starts 2026 with a trip to Iceland soon.

I think we can safely say they have the Travel bug too!

As for my Business in 2026 - I want to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you that has booked a holiday, referred me to your friends and family and continue supporting my business - Although I don’t measure my business on turnover of sales it is measurable and I am very proud to achieve my best ever year in sales turnover in 2025 and who would of thought December 2025 would be the biggest sales month too!

I like to measure my business and success on returning clients and I am so delighted that my repeat clientele is just over 80% with many of you booking multiple holidays a year and some clients have been booking holidays for all of my 20 years in business and many of you now becoming my lovely friends!

Thank you!!! I am truly blessed with your loyalty and friendship.

You really do truly support and stay loyal to my business. I cannot thank you enough for this and without you I would not have achieved any of these things.

There’s always a need for personal service and there are many people that book holidays online and that’s okay, but there’s also many people that need and want somebody on hand to take care of them and to create the most amazing holidays for them so whether you need support or whether you need inspiration or whether you just don’t have the time this is what I’m here. And this is what I do. Best, support, be there on hand when needed and inspire you to travel to places that you’ve never even thought you would travel to, to give you the best deals and work with you to make the most beautiful memories.
